With sword in hand, he embarks on a death\-defying mission to find his princess and to restore peace to the kingdom\!    A game by  Matt Kap , the lead artist behind  The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth    A large world heavily inspired by the golden era of video games   Level up your knight with wildly different abilities   An arsenal of over 100 weapons, armor, items and magic to collect and use\!   Over 50 bosses to find and slay   More than 100 different enemies   Fast\-paced chiptune soundtrack   Castle In The Darkness is a fun and challenging shout out to the early days of video games\!
